500G cone: approximately 8'000m/8'720yds 1ply

This yarn was developed with Shetland Museum and Archives as part of the Shetland Fine Lace Project. The yarn is worsted spun from the natural, undyed colours of purebred Shetland Sheep to replicate the handspun yarns used in the finest lace items of the 1800s, such as Queen Victoria's stockings and items displayed at world exhibitions. This spinning process aligns the fibres but also removes short and coarse hairs as well as any vegetable matter left in the fibres. This process creates a yarn that is extremely strong but also soft as the fibres are quite aligned and not sticking out (these tiny fibres are what makes wool ‘itch’) What makes this yarn so perfect for lace is that the worsted spinning process makes a yarn which has very good drape.

This will be the 8th shawl I have knitted using Jamieson & Smith wool.
The cone is so convenient - no ends to join and it doesn’t move!
The wool is such a joy to use - with each shawl I always write a little history of the tradition of the shetland wool, patterns, production and care etc.

Thank you so much for such a wonderful product.

I have used SS1-ply a few times before and loved it. It really makes perfect sense to buy them in cones. I am looking forward to the other dark colors be restocked in the future.
